This just in from an un-named source:
********* BREAKING NEWS *********
U.S. TO BEGIN SELLING IRAQI OIL FOR $50 PER BARREL TO EARN BACK WAR COSTS AND FORCE OPEC TO DRIVE DOWN PRICES
ALL IRAQI PIPELINES AND PRODUCTION FACILITIES SAID TO BE COMPLETELY PROTECTED AND READY TO PUMP!
The U.S. is going to offer the oil to companies on the condition they agree to sell refined products in the US and Iraq-war-coalition countries ONLY, at about half price we're paying now.

In addition, contracts for this half-priced oil will NOT be "let" through any Mercantile or Commodity Exchange or Oil Bourse where speculators drive-up oil prices to enrich themselves! The sales will be done directly between the US and Oil Companies.

Iraqi oil output is presently around 2.7 million barrels per day (bpd) and, according to sources familiar with this change, the US expects output to be at 3 Million bpd very soon.

Joe, I would love to hear the source on that one... sounds very fishy to me! Trust me, I am driving a diesel car and I am VERY tired of paying over 4 bux a gallon to fill it up, so this is good news if it is true, but I am a skeptic!

Be glad you are not an independant trucker! Those guys are becoming extinct! I believe this will happen, but someone is sitting on the story.

Really suprisin, the US is selling Iraqi oil, I thought they had gone in for freedom ?
